V8i relies heavily on legacy C++ runtimes. You will likely need:

To successfully install the prerequisites and the application, your workstation must meet these verified requirements: Operating System Windows 7 (64-bit and 32-bit environments require Service

After staging one test PC, Alex ran Bentley’s built-in System Checker tool (part of the installer). It output: ✅ OS version verified ✅ .NET 4.8 present ❌ Graphics driver outdated (rolled back to a Bentley-verified driver version 26.21.14.3087) After fixing the driver, the verification passed. Alex sent a report: “All 12 workstations meet prerequisites. Deployment ready Monday 8 AM.”

Download the standalone DirectX End-User Runtimes (June 2010) package directly from Microsoft, install it manually, and retry the Bentley installer.
